Greene and Greene Dresser
#11
Since I'm new here I wanted to share a bit.  I do various styles but, have a soft spot for Greene and Greene.  This is a piece I have made in cherry and mahogany for others.  When it came time to make one for my own home I adjusted the dimensions a bit to fit the location.  That's one of the advantages of being a woodworker, right?  Of course 3 years later we moved and thank goodness it fit the new room

You'll quickly note that I am no photographer but, you get the general idea.

   

I cut all the pulls from one blank.  Sometimes people notice months later, sometimes not at all (or they don't let me know they've noticed). I get a kick out of this either way.  This is just my twisted sense of humor.

   

Here's some more of this particular version prior to moving out of the old place.

APPLAUSE!!! well done. I have doing a G&G piece on my bucket list and may consider a dresser. ours is exceptionally nice.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
